To part the glass, slide the pane of glass so the
scored groove (6) is about 118 inch beyond the
table edge.

Hold down on the section resting on the working
surface. Grasp the section extending over the edge
with your other hand. Apply a light downward
pressure to part the glass.
10 Remaining chips may be removed by applying a
downward twisting motion using the notches of the
cutter.
CARE OF CUTTERS
1.
Make sure cutting blades remain sharp. Sharpen
dull blades with a file or oil stone.
2.
When not in use, apply a light film of oil on the
cutting edges.
3.
Store cutters in such a way as to prevent the blades
accidentally making contact with personnel or other
metal.
4.
For long periods of storage, coat entire cutter with
rust-preventive compound and store in a dry place.
